Wow - that is all I have to say. I contacted them to try to get an idea of their price range for bridal hair and makeup as well as for bridesmaids. They were slow to respond and I had a follow up question to which they they did not respond for 7 days. Only after I sent another inquiry did I get any answer and that answer was rude and unprofessional. I understand that there are specifics that will change the ultimate price for services, however I also believe that a general price range should be given - with as many disclaimers and caveats as you please. This is the response I got for even asking for a general sense of how much bridesmaids hair and makeup would cost: If price is your primary concern, Event Cosmetics will likely not be a good fit for you. We are the premier makeup artistry company in town, providing expert artists and superior service. If beauty is not one of your top wedding day priorities, you may want to explore other options. This needless to say left me speechless. I am not having a cheap wedding, I fully intend to spend as much as is reasonable (my budget is on the high end of what is average for makeup and hair in that metro area) to have a high level of service and end result - however, I am also not a silly person who throws caution and practicality to the wind and just runs in and says charge me whatever based on no comparison! I am a practical, logical person who has approached planning my wedding using best practices, professional advice and meticulousness. Asking for even a general sense of how much services would range should not be a question that warrants such a defensive and rude response. If this attitude and presentation is in any way representative of the culture and practices of this company then I would urge you to take your business to some place that treats people with respect. Snobbery is so ugly.

I do not wear a lot of makeup but sometimes I have to for special occasions. Katherine and her team of artists are amazing and always know exactly the right products and application to deal with whatever skin disaster I am facing on those days. She also is in touch with a gazillion brilliant hair stylists and can put together a team for just about any need - huge law office photo shoot? Check. Wedding in Seattle, Portland, or Bend? TV appearance at 6am? Check. Katherine was a national artist for Prescriptives for 20 years before EC so she knows her custom blends. I wholeheartedly recommend EC to my friends and clients, and use her services whenever I can.

We use the artists from Event Cosmetics for all of our on-air needs at OPB-TV and they are wonderful. They are always prepared and willing to adjust to the needs of time, budget and/or taste of the client. Katherine and her crew are perfectionists, but also know the needs of TV production and are always ready to adjust/touch up anything at the last minute (Even when its something to do with jewelry, clothing or other needs outside of their responsibility). We trust and count on them exclusively!

Katherine and her team of artists are exceptional at their craft. They are extremely meticulous and detailed in the work they create and clients love working with them. Every bride we have referred to Event Cosmetics has been extremely impressed and satisfied with the service they received.

Katherine and her team are always ready and willing to make me fabulous for anything- from work to Halloween. Their line of products is, hands down, the best Ive ever used. Its a good feeling knowing Ill never have to test out cosmetics again. Thank you, Katherine!

Took my girlfriend in as a part of her Christmas gift. They were exceptional even to me. They took care of me as much as her. Walked away with some nice products too. Fellas put this place on your list for a great gift for the lady.

She went the extra mile for me on my wedding day that was headed for a disaster. 7 years later, I am still buying their make up from another state because its that good!
